A Coupled Model of the 1D River Network and 3D Estuary Based on Hydrodynamics and Suspended Sediment Simulation

Figure 2

Map of the study area including the location of the Pearl River network with the names of the three major rivers and the major topographic features of the Pearl River Estuary with isobaths in colors. The upstream boundaries of the 1D model are shown on the map, which starts with Shizui, Gaoyao, Shijiao, Laoyagang, and Boluo. The downstream boundaries of the 3D coastal model extend to the −30 m isobaths. Black circles represent major cities. Red triangles and red circles represent the main stations in the Pearl River network and the Pearl River Estuary, respectively.
